I switched to Joplin and it’s been okay, lots of plugins but I’ve stuck to just vanilla thus far. The built in syncing plus encryption built-in makes for easy setup so I didn’t need to setup rclone.

You know I cannot quantify damages from a program that forces compliance without transparency through gag orders. I can point out that preventing the use of a VPN does not halt an entire company, you can still connect and work exactly the same as with a VPN it’s just not in a secure and private manner but what are you trying to hide? /s

No matter what you and I believe it’s irrelevant, if privacy goes on the chopping block than a VPN access would need to go with it and the technology is currently irreplaceable as-is but that doesn’t negate the possibility that it can become regulated. Privacy should be a human right but you and I both know that equality isn’t always equal and there’s a large portion of government over numerous groups that all have their own agendas and understand the advantages of knowledge and the power it can bestow. You’re trying to fight greed and greed only cares about getting more.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk and best of luck to you frezik, I hope you’re right but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Like the patriot act?

And you think lawmakers would make a wise informed decision? You think that they wouldn’t make a decision that would strip away your capability to use a VPN while protecting themselves and big tech that lobby for exemptions?

Their Profit or Your Privacy, what do you think they’ll pick?

You make it sound like our lawmakers are wise and would make an informed decision and not just write an exception for companies that lobby for exemption.

Pretty soon VPN’s will be illegal too.

Is the sync server an alternative to cloud based saving?

I looked into backblaze and was kind of turned off by the egress fee though I doubt I would exceed that for backups unless I had some really bad luck. Dropbox integrates with a lot of apps and that provides some value to me and with the comparable pricing Dropbox seems safer.

That said I’d love to hear more because I think my situation sounds similar to yours. “$6/TB/Month. No Hidden Fees. No Delete Penalties” but then it says “Storage: $0.006 GB/Month Download: Free up to 3x monthly storage” and I’m confused, is it $6 a month for a TB or is it $0.62 for 1024 GB at $0.0006 GB/Month?

Disappointing.

If you aren’t aware rclone makes it easy to backup (copy) or sync files to different cloud providers like Dropbox and you can setup encryption very easily so you can continue using Dropbox since it does have pretty good value for the price even though they’ve shown they aren’t trustworthy.

Hopefully he disappeared because someone thinks he might make for a good replacement of someone in the future, but more likely they finally tortured him to death and destroyed his body so he can’t become a martyr.

As a millennial I have no idea what that person is saying.

Right in the feels that I used to have.

They see how much money Google and Apple are making selling your data and want a bigger cut so they need to make it so they’re the only source of data extraction then your data is more valuable.

That’s because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!

Woah now, let’s not let anyone sell it so cheap when wraps is plural. We might make a profit yet.

Companies: That’ll be $49.99.

Have you checked your bashrc file to see if the aliases are just commented out? I feel like it comes standard with bash but not every distro enables it by default.

And whatever ilk follows in it’s footstep

So why can’t we call it that?
